What does it mean to influence and make an impact as a leader?

This week on the show, Denis is joined by Dr. Mrinalini Garv and Dr. Diane Hamilton to explore the edges of comfort zones, the societal norms that deny women opportunities to pursue their dreams, and how curiosity can be used for success. They also touch on emotional intelligence, its impact on sales performance, and what\'s stopping people from being curious. Tune in now to find out more!


In this episode:


  • What makes Dr. Garv tick and her mission to serve and empower women within South Asian culture
  • Dr. Garv talks about her views on leadership and her fascination with how leaders can influence and impact others
  • Dr. Hamilton talks about her background in sales and software and how it built the foundation for her to go into leadership
  • The four factors that inhibit curiosity - F.A.T.E.


Main takeaways:


  • Leadership is also about taking charge of your life and career
  • It\'s not about being liked; it\'s about being respected 
  • Let your teams find creative solutions to your goals where they are most comfortable
  • Curiosity is like cake; you have to turn on the oven to bake the ingredients
  • You need to build curiosity into your core values and emulate what you want to see
  • F.A.T.E - fear, assumptions, technology, and environment
